Take your time when talking with providers, and ask as many questions as you’d like. While we know Dr. Sessa is one of the best; we want you to make the best decision for yourself when it comes to choosing a provider.
Facelift Procedure
Your procedure will depend on the type of facelift, Orlando, you undergo. Dr. Sessa will perform the type of procedure you decide on during a consultation. However, the surgery can last anywhere from three to five hours, so you will need to make sure you have someone drive you to and from the surgery, as you will not be able to drive yourself home.
Recovery
Recovering from a facelift also depends on the type of surgery you undergo. A deep plane facelift will recover more recovery time than a mini but is similar to that of a traditional one. Some recovery steps may include:
- Take all medication prescribed by Dr. Sessa so you can get adequate rest
- Leave all facial bandages on until Dr. Sessa removes them
- Rest with your head in an elevated position (this will help reduce the swelling)
- Attend every follow-up appointment so Dr. Sessa can make sure you’re healing correctly
- Avoid strenuous exercise or physical activity until Dr. Sessa clears you
The swelling will last around six weeks or longer, depending on your body and how you react to the procedure. You should be able to return to work after the first week or two, but be sure to talk with Dr. Sessa before returning to your normal routine.
